What is the tag? Just a barcode?

I see.

(b) is golden. In a way, it's like ignoring a girl that I like, while making myself discernibly more desirable.

Thanks.

I should be more clear.

The startup's customers are from among many verticals. Acquiring those customers is why I need the sales team. I can work to acquire a few myself within a specific vertical. To service the acquired customers is where the monetary expense is required (think PPC ads that are later billed to the customers, for example).

Of course, I can do one at a time, but why? That's the point of me wanting to seek funding - to scale quickly...to go after multiple companies in multiple cities within multiple industries.

The problem I'm worried about is precisely what you're warning against: I'm confident that I can successfully launch in one city (with my own funds) but I'm afraid that this will be considered post-launch and pre-traction when I solicit investors.

Cut it out. At least try to be a little more subtle with your spam.

How is that more interesting?

You'd consider canning the _competent_ VP/Engineer, adding insult to injury?

C'mon.

How are you determining if a tweet is positive, negative, or neutral?

Does any one know where to get access to the raw data? Does the NBA provide them "upon request" or did the author compile them manually?
